Using NCIC abbreviations for descriptors, which broadcast string correctly describes a white female adult, approximately 5 feet tall and 120 pounds?

• A. WFA, 500, 120
• B. WFA, 550, 120
• C. WFA, 500, 125
• D. WFA, 450, 120

Answer: (A)

Understanding NCIC broadcast strings: they start with the descriptor for race, gender, and age, followed by height encoded as feet and inches in a three-digit format, and then weight in pounds. White Female Adult is abbreviated as WFA. The height code 500 means 5 feet 0 inches (the first digit is feet, the next two are inches). The weight 120 matches 120 pounds. So the combination WFA, 500, 120 correctly describes a White Female Adult around 5 feet tall and weighing 120 pounds. The other options use heights that don’t match 5 feet or weights that don’t match 120 pounds, so they don’t fit the description.
